Henry's life since the first season of Once Upon a Time has been one obstacle after another, but now he's going to go through the romance and difficulties of growing up.
Season 5 will introduce Henry's first "crush", OUAT executive producer Edward Kitsis told Entertainment Weekly in a new report. While Kitsis suggested that Camelot is "a place for love", neither he nor fellow EP Adam Horowitz would reveal if Henry's crush is from there.

"It's a character that we're going to meet and we want it to be a surprise," Horowitz said. "It's fun to give Henry something new to play and deal with, and to really explore Henry as a boy who's growing up and all the joy and pain of adolescence."
In the first arc of the season, Henry will be trying to get his mother Emma (Jennifer Morrison) back from the dark side. Emma sacrificed herself in the season 4 finale in order to protect the welfare of her community, but now she must pay the price. Emma is no longer the Savior. She is the Dark One.
Henry will be joined by Regina (Lana Parrilla), Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin), Charming (Josh Dallas) and Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) in trying to bring Emma back to the side of good. Will they be successful or did Emma just become Once Upon a Time's greatest villain?
Once Upon a Time season 5 premieres Sunday, Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
